I think I've found the snag that you encountered - with Mirrored staffs
there is a directive at the start which it is useful to retain. I think
this is a more general snag - you may for example have a directive in
bar one that turns of tuplet brackets or something else applying to the
whole staff.
I've fixed this now by leaving non-music in the first measure when
creating the template.

Thanks,

Richard
